  • It’s their way of implying they’re unbiased, but 50/50 comaints doesn’t mean unbiased. In fact it probably means there’s a bias, if it’s about a specific subject only. The facts only is unbiased, but for many people on many subjects, the facts are upsetting.

    For example, climate change is real and has been known about for over a century. Reporting on that would be unbiased, but you’d get a lot more complaints from a certain segment of society than another. Managing to get 50/50 means you biased your report to be in the middle. The middle doesn’t mean unbiased.


  • I would say probably more 451 games (essentially synonymous with Immersive Sims) where there’s almost always a door with the code 0451, a reference to System Shock, where the first door uses this code as a reference to Fahrenheit 451. In the end you’re right, but it’s more a reference to this repeated reference (which is in itself a reference) than a reference to the book itself.

    There is hardly anything. However, there’s never nothing. The atmosphere is a thin and continuously decreasing thing, but there’s no point where it stops. Space is nearly a vacuum, but technically not totally. It’s close enough that we normally say it is, but there are particles bouncing around.
